Walter shared the treasures of his home town — its food, wine, history, politics, and people— all on a relaxed and fun filled Sunday. He took us off the well traveled routes to quiet alleys, hidden pastry shops, and quiet cafes where local families were sharing meals. He even drove us to see the beach and the many flamingos. A truly wonderful experience. Thank you, Walter!Tasting the Real Cagliari

While travelling solo, booked the 10 tastings tour on the first day, with Riccardo. Best decision, as Riccardo is very knowledgeable about his home town! City history, best places to go to for food icecream and drinks, nice giftshops. Following days I revisited a few ofnthe restaurants because the food was so delicious. All in all a perfect 3hr stroll, thanks to the well travelled guide Riccardo ! Complimenti!Super tour, super guide

We were a group of five and booked a tasting tour with Chiara and we had a wonderful time with her. She was very friendly, she explained a lot of things to us and we had a wonderful discussion, not only about food but of culture, society and everything else. and she was very accommodating and helped us a lot. We were very satisfied with the tour, so we say thank you.

My wife and I were on a cruise with a one-day stop in Cagliari. We weren't sure how to take in all of the rich history and culinary traditions of Sardinia in such a short time. Then, we discovered Walter. He met us outside the cruise terminal gate, and and drove us to the highest of the seven hills surrounding Cagliari, where there was a walled-in city that dated back to the Roman era. We then proceeded to walk downhill along cobblestone streets and charming alleys enjoying the local fare, and even strolled through an open air market where we sampled many of the local foods. The price we paid meant that Walter paid for the food and even the wine that we sampled. We covered about seven miles of walking, eating our way down the hill. Of course, we were fine with the walking, and Walter had tailored this trip to our tastes. For those that want to walk less, he would assuredly tailor the day to your whims. Friendly Guide in Cagliari

I was traveling solo, so this was a great way to see the city and try local favorites. Riccardo went above and beyond to make sure I was enjoying myself and planned out stops by what I enjoy. He even introduced me to a cheese made me cry because it “WAS THAT GOOD”! Sorry about that Riccardo. 😅 If you’re thinking about booking this tour, just do it. You won’t regret it. He’s well traveled, personable, and knows his town very well. Best if you can do first day in town, so you know the area and can follow his other recommendationsLoved the food tour with Riccardo!

Riccardo took us to local delicacies and a great overview of their culture. Especially enjoyed the cookie shop, seafood stop and wine and appetizers at the last place. The meeting point closer to the cruise ship would have been better as we decided to walk the half hour to meet up… a winding route uphill. An enjiyable tour in Cagliari

We had the absolute best day with Francesca. It felt like spending a day with an old friend. The tour itself in terms of food was great - we were really excited to try some typical Sardinian foods and Francesca’s selections did not disappoint. We toured the local market and enjoyed fresh oysters, stood in front of a typical cured meat counter and enjoy wine and locally cured meats, stopped for coffee and finally finished the day for a tasting some some really traditional foods - including donkey! Don’t hesitate to book this experience. Thanks Francesca! A True Gem Of A Tour - Don’t Hesitate

Walter was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We got a very detailed lay of the land and enjoyed his plethora of knowledge. This being my 6th food tour across the world, I wouldn’t call this a food tour but definitely helped us figure out where to return and eat after the tour, since he suggested good places along the way. Great History Tour of Cagliari

Francesca was lovely and very knowledgeable about Cagliari. We toured the market and had wonderful food at several locations, then we went to Castello and several other historical sights learning about the history of the area while also tasting more wonderful local dishes. I highly recommend a tour with Francesca. Afterwards she sent us several recommendations of other things to enjoy in the area. This tour was the highlight of our time in Cagliari.Wonderful day woth Francesca

Walter was a very knowledgeable guide. We learned about the city’s history, food and how the people live their daily lives. The food was delicious, He was able to answer all our questions. Taking the tour with Walter really enriched the experience. He knew all people across the city and helped us get a spot at a hidden restaurant where locals frequent 10/10 would recommend. Exceeded all expectations

I had the most amazing time with Chiara! I was very nervous never having taken a Withlocals adventure before and I was told by the information desk near the cruise ship the meeting place was a long distance away. I messaged Chiara concerned, she just went above and beyond to make sure I was able to enjoy this experience. She fully catered this experience to how I was feeling in the heatwave and my nervousness about the cruise ship timing. There are not enough words to say how fantastic this experience was and how phenomenal Chiara was. I would 1000% recommend taking a Withlocals adventure and booking it with Chiara! Outstanding, one of a kind expedience!

The afternoon was very nice. Riccardo has a lot of knowledge of Sardinië. We went on a Sunday at 17:00 so a lot was closed but he showed us still a lot of good things. Price value rating has nothing to do with riccardo. Riccardo was a super nice guy

This was our first time in Cagliari and we really enjoyed it. We had some food, some good talk and some history of the town. One regret - out tour was on a Sunday morning. That was the only day we could do it. But the city market was closed and one or two other regular stops were also closed. Ricardo took us to some very nice places, but I would have loved to see the market with him . I guess we will do that the next time!!Cagliari food tour

Chiara was just awesome. We are a family of 5 with children and she did everything to make it a wonderful experience for them. Besides showing us the highlights of Cagliari which is a beautiful town, she specifically found the interests of my children in the market and helped them explore and learn. You can tell she cares about her city as well providing the BEST experience possible for her guests. We highly recommend Chiara! Highly Recommend Chiara

If you are looking for a city tour with all hidden gems, Walter is the right choice for you! It is like exploring the city with a friend. He was born in Cagliari and, therefore, knows the best spots and has the best stories. The only advice I would give, not to Walter, but rather to the Tour Organizer, is that you should maybe just call it a „food tour“ without mentioning an exact number of food spots. The description stated 10, but we had 2 in reality. Which was completely enough for us. The expectation was was just different. Still 10/10!!!Cagliari wih a friend!

Our tour began at the local market and before we had even finished with the first vendor we knew we had made the perfect choice in guides. Touring with Chiara is like meeting an old friend that wants to share her city with you. We met locals at every stop and the tour provided us a with an understanding of Cagliari and it's resteraunts and shops that we used for the remainder of our stay. Absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much Chiara! Fabulous Tour and a New Friend

We had a great, but also very exhausting day (many hills to climb in Cagliari!). At the end we felt that we „understand“ the city and its history. Highlights were the people we met on our way, who had a true passion for their food. The Seada (with honey from the strawberry tree!) were by far the best we tried on the whole island - and we tried a few. 😜 If you wanted to improve something, it would be to respond to the wishes expressed in the booking form and to distribute the food stops more evenly along the way.Great guide

We spent an amazing afternoon and evening with Riccardo learning about the food, culture and history of Sardegna. Riccardo organized the tour very well and took us to beautiful places we would have never found otherwise. Dietary requirements were taken into consideration, at the same time we tried exciting new dishes. We got to learn a lot about the city of Cagliary and Riccardo took the time to answer all our questions. We ended the evening with prosecco and cake to celebrate my daughters 30th birthday and with a new friend. Thank you Riccardo, for making this day so special. Highly recommended!Amazing tour - definitely recommend!

Walter was the best guide! We spent 3 hours tasting the local treats- from cheese to desserts. As a native of the city he knows so much about its history and shared his passion and love of his home town. He was fun to talk to and based the food tastings on our preference for vegetarian options. We were able to visit local bakeries, pasta shops and the large food market - places we’d never have found on our own! He also showed us some of the historical sites and we loved being able to walk all around! Highly recommend this tour. Perfect way to see Cagliari

This was our second tour with Chiara and, as always, she was helpful and knowledgeable. Her obvious passion for her city shone through as we explored a number of crypts and other underground places in Cagliari. A highlight for us was the Museo del Tesoro e Area - without Chiara’s guidance and expertise this would not have been nearly as interesting. Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide

Walter was a really lovely friendly host. The whole point of a food tour is to however, enjoy the local food. The tour is misleading with 6 eateries mentioned. We ate: 1. A pizzeta (approx €3) 2. A platter if antipasti with cold cut meats and cheese with a glass of wine each (approx €20) 3. An amaretti biscuit shop (free samples) Even then Walter said we didn’t have to go to the last stop. Very expensive for €82 per person and whilst we had a good tour of the city, this was a food tour. We actually went out for food after! Great host but not enough food

I booked a private tour with Walter for a small group sailing together on a cruise. We met at a location convenient to walk to from the ship and got started right on time. Walter explained that our route would take us through all of the major neighborhoods in Cagliari, and explained a bit about the history and culture of each area. The focus of our tour was underground Calgiari, so we spent a good amount of time beneath churches and historical sites where ancient ruins had been found, and in some cases restored. It was fascinating, and we felt that we got a great value for what we paid vs a tour from the ship. I'm sure we covered more in 2.5 hours than the much more expensive 4 hour ship tour. Note: there is a lot of walking on hilly streets, so be aware. We did have one member of our group who skipped the last part because of knee problems, but if you can manage the walking, the views are well worth it! Walter was personable and fun, and interacted with the group in a very nice way, being sure to include everyone. We would 10/10 do it again, and if we return to Cagliari we will book another tour with Walter.More than we had hoped for!

Our group of four only had one day to visit Cagliari. Walter’s tour was the perfect overview of the town. While our tour was nominally a tour of the “underground,” he gave us lots of history and insight into what was above ground too. I don’t know that we’d have discovered the sites he shared with us without his guidance. Loved having an intimate group because we could ask questions relevant to our interests and previous knowledge so easily. His tour was really a fantastic finish to our visit to beautiful Sardinia.More than just underground - great tour!

We joined Riccardo for a private tour of Cagliari while in port from a cruise ship. We are not cruise ship people and prefer to wander and learn the history and culture where we stay. Riccardo gave us enough information about local churches and crypts and general history that we felt we’d stayed in Cagliari for more than an afternoon. He is wonderful, please do not miss an opportunity to spend a couple hours with him. Do not miss an afternoon with Riccardo!
